The singer was forced to bow out of this year's leadership race after Haiti's electoral commission ruled that he was not an appropriate candidate for the title.
However, Jean has refused to step down from politics altogether, and is even eyeing another presidential bid in his native country in five years' time.
He told Hip-Hop Weekly: "I'm not a quitter, and the most important thing for me is, I think, to move Haiti forward. It's gonna take modern thinking.
"So, if all goes well, I plan to definitely come back in five years and give it another shot."
The 40-year-old was recently hospitalised for a short time as a result of "fatigue and stress".
